With the holiday season upon us our thoughts turn to those who have lost a loved one in the past year. At Wallace Funeral Home they are aware of how difficult the holiday season can be and it is our hope that you will find strength in the love and understanding of family and friends. As those around you prepare to celebrate the season, you may find yourself merely going through the motions, wondering how you will endure these next few weeks and wishing they were behind you. These feelings are a normal and natural reaction to the changes in your life following a loss. With this in mind, we would consider it an honor if you, your family and friends would join us for our annual “Candle Light Service,” held at Wallace Funeral Home, located 33 Sunnyside Drive in Sussex, New Brunswick on Wednesday, December 5th, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. It is a time that unites family and friends throughout our community as they light candles to honour and remember those who have gone.
